I got myself into another black and white mood today. That is not to say that I am in a bad mood or depressed mood. I think that I just like black and white shots a lot and today I think I am just taking some comfort in it.
It has been a long day today. I got up late (did not sleep well) and managed to get into my shop pretty quickly. I got a lot done today except I really had to fight for it. The powers that be decided that everything was going to be difficult today. Simple tasks like trimming a piece of wood became frustrating as the wood split. Parts that were measured carefully did not want to line up right. Pieces of wood that were looked at carefully for imperfections and thought to be smooth all of a sudden had bad spots on them. The thing that took the cake today however was tearing out a chunk of the tip of my thumb (a nice sized one too) right in the middle of the day so I had to work with a wrapped up and sore thumb the rest of the day.
So here I am in my shop at 11:37 PM still working. Things went wrong. My thumb really fucking hurts. I still have lots to do. I’m down here though because I love what I do and it is not just what I do but who I am. I have been in my shop too many times late at night because I have to and…. well…. tonight is sort of one of those nights but only because I have decided that it needs to be. I lot of ideas swimming around in my head and I want to clear the schedule so I can get to them. I apologize for my rambling but this is my Day 77 and as hard as it was I kicked ass and took names.
